Overview

The Agency for Cultural Affairs has run the Overseas Study Program for Artists (Program of Overseas Study for Upcoming Artists) since FY1967. The government sends young artists overseas and provides a training course on each specialty, in order to support artists who will play a supporting role in the future art world in Japan. The number of trainees in fine art has exceeded 1,000.
This Exhibition has been held 16 times to introduce the achievements of the program, where some artists, who are working on diverse categories, including painting, carving, photography, installation, animation, handicraft and architecture, are selected to show Japanese art of the times.
Under the theme of “Density and Purity of Japan Contemporary Art” this 17th Exhibition focuses on 12 emerging artists who create highly delicate and dense works modeling and increase the purity of expression by such works. Three trainees in the Conservation and Restoration category will also make presentations for the first time.
We hope that you can enjoy the 12 exhibits, which are rich in variation, ranging from painting to engraving, photography, pottery, casting, animation and installation, which make use of the big space of The National Art Center, Tokyo. This will be a valuable opportunity to enrich your understanding of Conservation and Restoration, which is an important category in which to support works of art.
